The Quest for Perfection Trilogy [PFS Regular] [Tier 4-5] (Inactive)

Game Master Amsheagar

Duskin is still keeping his position. Unless he feels the boat is actually threatened or that the raiders have a chance to approach, he will just hide prone, with cover, in full defense. His resources are fairly limited, and he doesn't want to waste them unless really necessary.

You do know that there is an indoor part of this ship... right?

Duskin stays where he is, unable to help.

Jones lines up another shot, but misses.

Kuwabara misses his target.

Saarai starts using her wand to make herself feel good.

Gudrun remains close to the ground, unable to assist with the ranged combat.

The Green and Pink Ranger fail to wipe the dust out of their eyes this round.

The Un-boarded looses another arrow at Saarai and hits before he moves forward again.
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 for damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The Blue Ranger has to change targets, so he fires at Jones.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 But fails to hit.

Zalanda is up next then stop.

I had dropped to prone, so the arrow should have missed me (though would have hit my non-prone AC).

rodger that.

Zalanda finishes loading her crossbow and is about to stand up to shoot but sees the other party members taking cover. ..... I think I will do the same and keep my head down these natives are good archers and I am not ..... She stays down and pulls the arrow out of her arm.

With all of the arrows flying through the air, the first mate has lost control of the ship and has ran it into the side of the river. Everyone is flung 20 feet forward, Those of you in the middle of the ship are slammed into the front cabin and those of you on the front of the ship, are tossed into the river. DC 20 or you are prone.

Now you can easily get on and off the ship.. After you stand up.

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Kasei falls prone, but stands up and looses another arrow at the bandits. Still shooting at the one with no border.

longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

As a standard action, Duskin uses 1 round of his performance to summon a Shadow Dolphin, which he orders to pull him to shoreside, but far from the enemies (from his point, let's say diagonally NW). Now in land, Duskin will stay prone for the moment, still with his shortbow in hands.

If possible, he will try to have the dolphin pull Jones as well.

Dolphins are fairly strong and have a swim speed of 80

Cursing the ineptitude of their pilot, Saarai flies forward into the drink.

The agile tiefling has no problem treading water. She wades to shore, wounded but determined.

swim: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Lying flat on the deck Zalanda feels the ship hit and covers her head to prevent from hitting it on anything. Her body slides but only gets a small sliver in the leg. She stays down and pulls it from her leg then grabs her crossbow again checking to make sure it did not release the bolt during the crash.

Jones will reach for the Dolphin with one hand, and hang onto his Crossbow in his other hand.

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Swim: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 1 - 3 = 8

in pathfinder, a Dolphins strength is only 12 and can carry only one of you at a time. Treat it as a grab/grapple when holding onto the dolphin and it moves at half speed. You can grab onto it without making any checks, as long as it lets you.

The Dolphin will simply Drag or Reposition me as I indicated above. Jones will have to wait for my next round, unfortunately.

Round Recap

Duskin summons a Dolphin that is able to get him back to the ship.

Jones tries to swim towards the ship, but flounders in place, unable to move.

Kuwabara aims and shoots at the un-boarded but he is slightly off and misses his target.

Saarai is barely able to get back to the shore.

Waiting on Gudrun. Everyone, update your health in your status bar.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Already lying down, Gudrun slides across the floor of the ship, grunting as he rolls. Annoyed at the turn of events, the trapsmith curses in dwarven and rises to his feet, grabbing his axe off his belt.

Gudrun grabs his axe as he rolls to his feet.

Pink and Green are still blind to the fact the boat is stuck.

The Blue Raider charges his horse into the water and is able to climb into the boat and strike at Kuwabara. attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 He misses.

The un-bordered one charges his horse at Saarai, dismounts and moves in on her with his sword. attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 But, he barely misses.

Zalanda

Zalanda stands up to greet the new shipmate Blue Rider. She holds her crossbow with her left hand and begins to wave her free hand in small a exact pattern and chanting a quick cryptic phrase.

Cast Daze DC 16

Saarai smirks as the enemy misses, though her expression makes it clear she does not like her position, wounded and alone against a likely superior melee combatant.

She steps away from him and conjures a magical snowball and hurls it at him.

"Don't worry about me, guys...I'm fine!" she yells sarcastically at her companions.

The map makes it look like I'm 10' away...if I am, I take a full move action to get away 30' (where I'm positioned on the map), but if I'm adjacent I'll just 5' step.

ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 144d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 5, 2) = 11 DC 15 Fort save or staggered 1 round

With his performance, Duskin summons an Eagle to flank Blue, which immediately attacks as it appears.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Talon 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Talon 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

DC 14 for 1/5 damage

Swim: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 3 = 1

As Jones attempts to swim back to the boat, his leg gets caught up and he starts to sink.

Kasei drops his bow on the deck and draws his sword. "Worthless bandit!"

Attack w/ power attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 - 1 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Duskin gets up and summons his shadow minions which tare into the Blue Raider, leaving him open for Kuwabara to take off his head.

Jones starts to sink beneath the water.

Saarai moves away from her foe and attacks the un-boarded raider.

Gudrun is up next.

We haven't had a post from Gundrun in a week...

Gudrun moves over to his fellow ship mates in the hope of protecting them from any possible boarders.

Seeing one alone, The unboarded foe charges at her. He stops 15 feet away and charges at her.

charging attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Both the pink and green raider are able to see now and charge towards the boat. I think it's been 4 round since you cast that spell. If not, this is their action next round.

The Pink aims at Gudrun and shoots an arrow but misses.
Pink vs Gudrun: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Green aims and shoots at Kuwabara.
G vs K: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Jones attempts to swim back to the boat.

Swim: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 1 - 3 = 10

Duskin summons another dolphin to try to help Jones get back to the ship.

Zalanda quickly moves around the others on the boat throws her hands in the air and releases a hand full of multi-colored powder while chanting a few cryptic words. A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth toward the attackers.

Kasei drops his sword on the deck and picks up his bow. He fires an arrow at the closest bandit.

longbow, divine favor, PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 13

Zalanda, i don't need spell craft spoilers. :p Please indicate the spell and the save type and DC to make it easier for me.

Zalanda sees the enemies approaching the ship and she decides to give them a little color. The Pink Ranger is covered in the rainbow of colors coming from Zalanda but the Green Ranger shrugs it off.

Duskin is able to help Jones back to the ship.

Kuwabara arrow knocks into the now unconscious Pink Ranger and knocks her into the water. Where she soon drowns and is no longer among this world.

Gudrun draws a dagger and hurls it at the approaching raider.

Dagger: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 2 = 141d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Saarai cries out as the enemy's blade slices her again.

Seeing her situation is dire and her companions are otherwise engaged, she steps back, activates a spring-loaded wrist sheath to reveal a wand, and vanishes completely.

5' step, swift action to activate wrist sheath, standard action to cast vanish, lasts 4 rounds.

stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Zalanda, i don't need spell craft spoilers. :p Please indicate the spell and the save type and DC to make it easier for me.

Will do

Saarai steps back and quickly vanishes from the un-boarded raiders view.

Gudrun tosses an arrow at the Green Raider, but misses.

The un-boarded raider watches as his prey quickly vanishes and is no where to be seen. He signals to the Green raider to retreat, since they are no longer have the advantage. They both move away from the ship.

They have joined up together and are about 70 feet away from you guys.

Gudrun wades in to collect his dagger, not looking for anymore of a fight then they already had.

Jones pulls himself back onto the boat and thanks Duskin. He has no intention of pursuing the raiders as they flee.

Kasei, furious, sends another arrow after the fleeing bandits.

Targeting the no-border one.

longbow, divine favor: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

Unfortunately, he misses wildly.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Loot: (lamellar cuirass*, scimitar, shortbow with 40 arrows, light horse (combat trained), riding saddle) x2

Updating in the next few hours.

I think there's a place for horses in the hold of the ship.

Seeing the raiders ride way Zalanda breaths a sigh of relief. "We the locals are not that friendly are they. Does anyone have a bandage and the skill to apply it?" Zalanda inspect her arrow wound.

Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

"I'll do better than that," Kasei says, using his wand to heal Zalanda.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 How far down are you? Is anyone else hurt?

Zalanda's wound closes completely and she moves her arm in circles to check the range of motion. "That is great Kuwabara. Thank you very much."

I am full now Thank You!

"You may call me Kasei, as we are comrades-in-arms now. Kuwabara is my family name -- in Tian Xia, the given name follows the surname, opposite how it is done in Avistan."

Giving the man a big smile. "Thank you Kasei."

Unfortunately, the horses run off as soon as their riders have been killed.

Several horses and goats contentedly graze about the wide grassy plain on either side of the river, but the fields look as though they have been recently flooded. A half-dozen yurts, drenched from a recent storm, dot the northern shoreline, smoke curling from their rounded roofs. Two small shrines sits a few yards east of the camp, surrounded by wildflowers.

You see a band of people with tents staked up in the ground. a middle-aged Tian-La man, with graying hair and a scraggly beard, waves as the ship approaches. "You must be the Society members sent here. My name is Ogokai. Please make yourselves at home."

Thankful to be off the boat Zalanda stretches her legs while playing with her pet snake.

When Ogokai introduces himself.

Zalanda turns to the man and smiles. "Hello Ogokai, I am Zalanda and yes we are Pathfinders." she turns to acknowledge the others then turns back to speak with Ogokai. "Thank you we have had a tough boat ride a steady comfortable place to rest would be nice. Will we be staying here long before we make our way to the Clouded Path Monastery? Will you happen to be our guide?"

The man shakes his head. "No my dear child. The Clouded Path Monastery is still a few months travel from here. Stay the night so you can rest and you could get the supplies that the Venture-Captain sent you to us for.

I believe that the Clouded Path Monastery is in the 3rd installment.

Gudren happily hops off the boat, glad to be back on solid ground however briefly.

"What kinda supplies we talkin' about lad?"

The gruff dwarf gives his equipment a once over as he talks.
